Shen Xuanxiao, the Nine Luminaries True Lord, lived for thirty thousand years before meeting his end. When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn in another world, and was still in his mother's womb.
Fortunately, though heaven and earth were different, the Dao might not be.
No spiritual energy?
Then he would refine the elements and turn them into magical power.
Before he was even born, Shen Xuanxiao lifted a curse from his mother. On the day of his birth, he also stumbled upon an assassination plot against himself.
Eighteen years later, everyone believed that the second son of the Northern Duke was born with blocked meridians and could not cultivate.
Until, at the Frost Oath Ceremony, an imperial genius mage stood in his way.
Lorne casually snapped off a branch.
"Magic is just magic. Once you understand it, it's not so hard to break."
From that day on, alchemy, artifact forging, talismans, formations, beast taming...
A cultivation system that had never existed in this world began, step by step, to shake a continent ruled by magic and battle aura for ten thousand years.
And Shen Xuanxiao gradually discovered something.
The so-called Sanctuaries, demigods, and even the exalted gods of this world were not all that impressive after all.
